Travel Information
Human fossil records indicate that the Philippines
has been inhabited for thousands of years. Its aboriginal population,
collectively known as the Negritos or Aetas, crossed prehistoric
land or ice bridges to eventually settle in the islands' lush forests.
Successive waves of migrants from the Malay and Indonesian archipelagoes,
and from Indochina and Taiwan, began to pour in around the turn
of the first millenium, pushing the aboriginal population into the
interior or absorbing them through intermarriage.
The people of the Philippines are known as Filipinos.
Throughout the colonial era the term "Filipino" originally
referred to the Spanish and Spanish-mestizo minority. The definition,
however, was later changed to include the entire population of the
Philippines regardless of ethnic origin. Philippines is the most
ethnically diverse country in Asia.
Travel Strories
One really nice thing about Filipino food culture
is that people always ask you to SHARE their food. In my office,
if you catch anyone attacking their baon, they will always go, "Sir!
KAIN TAYO!" ("Let's eat!"). This confused me, until
I realized that they didn't actually expect me to sit down and start
munching on their boneless bangus. In fact, the polite response
is something like, "No thanks, I just ate." But the principle
is sound if you have food on your plate you are expected to share
it, however hungry you are, with those who may be even hungrier.
I think that's great.
Isang beses noong ako ay nakikinig ng programa sa radyo mula sa
ibang bansa, ako ay natuwa nang marinig ko ang isang banyaga na
sinabi niyang "I
Love Philippines especially their Beaches!" , kung
ang taong banyaga nga ay marunong mag-mahal at mag-pahalaga sa aking
bansa, mas lalong dapat na ako ang mag-mahal sa aking bansang Pilipinas
bilang isang tunay na mamayan nito.
SABAH is Malaysia's premier nature adventure destination
situated in the northern tip of Borneo Island, the third largest
island in the world. Sabah is popular for its wildlife conservation
attractions, rain forest, surrounding nature and islands, beach
resorts, tropical white sandy beaches, crystal clear water, and
its warm and friendly people.
Most people envision Las Vegas as one big casino.
Admittedly I was one of them, until I undertook the ride of a lifetime.
Imagine soaring hundreds of feet above canyons of red and orange,
walking over rocks that been sculpted by mother nature herself and
floating down a river of dreams.
The fascinating thing about the Wright brothers is
that they were not the idealistic dreamers you might expect them
to be. They were serious, studious, and determined to figure things
out. It wasn't that they were obsessed with the dream of soaring
high above the ground. They were mechanically-inclined brothers
who owned a bicycle shop, and they couldn't forget the brief but
exciting flight of a cheap toy airplane they'd received as children.
Ang isa sa mga magagandang bagay na aking kinakasiya
ay ang pag-kakaroon ng MRT sa Pilipinas. Kahit na ito pa ay laging
puno tuwing rush hour, malaking tulong ito upang makarating ako
ng mabilis sa aking pupuntahan.
Nang kami ay nasa aming barrio, talagang napakadilim
na ng paligid kaya tuloy ako ay lalong natakot. Akala ko noon ay
katapusan na ng mundo, mabuti na lang ay pauwi ako sa aming barrio
at kapiling ko ang aking mga kamag-anak kung sakali mang katapusan
na.
